50th Day from Accident!

After a long gap of over 50 Days, today I am planning to go to office!

A small accident made me to sit at home for 50 days - but its too difficult for a person like me.. I used to travel about 80 KMs a day by bike, now I have to wait at least another 80 days to drive! I pity myself..

Here are few photographs of my leg from the day1 to present:

Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan on Thursday said that the security cameras installed around the blast sites in Mumbai have given very crucial information and they are being examined and analysed.

The Maharashtra Chief Minister has also said that the state Home Minister RR Patil informed the Cabinet on the investigations in Wednesday's blast.
The Maharashtra Cabinet on Thursday held a special meeting to discuss the fallout of Wednesday's bomb blasts.

The state Cabinet discussed about the medical facilities of the injured. Security post 26/11 was also discussed.

Terror struck Mumbai once again on Wednesday when three bomb blasts rocked some of the most crowded places of the city killing at least 17 people and injuring 131 others.

The first blast took place at 6:54 PM at south Mumbai's crowded Zaveri Bazaar. Within a few minutes Opera House and Dadar, too, were hit by powerful explosions.

Wednesday's blasts took place just two days after the fifth anniversary of the Mumbai serial train blasts on July 11, 2006 in which at least 186 people were killed. The blasts also evoked horrific memories of serial blasts in the past as both Dadar and Zaveri Bazar have been targeted earlier too.

Lightly guarded India temple holds $22B treasures

By NIRMALA GEORGE - Associated Press | AP – Mon, Jul 4, 2011

Source: Yahoo News

NEW DELHI (AP) — A vast treasure trove of gold coins, jewels and precious stones unearthed at a lightly guarded Hindu temple in India was expected to grow further in value Monday as the last two secret vaults sealed for nearly 150 years are opened.
The government has increased security since the treasure's discovery in recent days, which has instantly turned the 16th-century Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple into one of the wealthiest religious institutions in the country.

Four vaults recently opened at the temple in Trivandrum, the capital of the southern state of Kerala, held a vast bounty that unofficial estimates peg at $22 billion. The treasures unearthed so far include statues of gods and goddesses made of solid gold and studded with diamonds, rubies, emeralds and other precious stones, crowns and necklaces, all given as gifts to the temple over the centuries.

The volume of gold and silver coins was so enormous that the investigators weighed the coins by the sackful, rather than counting them, officials said. The temple, built by the maharajas who ruled the then-kingdom of Travancore, remained under the control of the erstwhile royal family after India's independence in 1947.

India's Supreme Court ordered the inspection of the vaults after a lawyer petitioned a local court asking the state government to take over the temple, citing inadequate security. The current Maharaja of Travancore had appealed to the Supreme Court against the petition.

The inventory began last week and the final vaults were to be unlocked Monday afternoon. The public knew the temple had treasures but not the quantum. Before the trove was uncovered, there was almost no visible security at the temple, save for a few local security guards patrolling the complex with batons, mainly for crowd control.

Kerala's police chief, Jacob Punnoose, said he sent extra police officers to guard the temple and is planning a high-tech security system to protect the treasure.
"We plan to enhance security in a manner which will not interfere with the activities of the temple or devotees," Punnoose said.

The security plans include the installation of digital electronic networks, closed circuit cameras and metal detectors at the entrance and exits of the temple. Manoj Abraham, city police commissioner, said two battalions of special armed police would provide security outside the temple complex.

"Later, we will discuss with temple authorities and members of the former royal family what kind of permanent security system should be put in place," Abraham said. Every year, devout Hindus donate millions of rupees worth of cash, gold and silver to temples. Some temples in India are so wealthy, they have formed trusts which run schools, colleges and hospitals that offer free treatment to the poor.

The discovery has sparked a debate over the future of the treasure trove.
Vellappally Nateshan, a Hindu leader, said the wealth should remain with the temple authorities. Some social activists in Kerala have demanded the treasure be handed to a national trust to help the poor. Kerala's top elected official, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, however, assured the people that the wealth would remain with the temple. "It is the property of the temple. The government will protect the wealth at the temple." Chandy said the government would bear the cost of stepping up security at the temple and ensure that worshippers were not inconvenienced.

Slowly turning into 29, while watching my favourite movie for 28 times

Being a long weekend (Monday, 4th July 2011 is American Independence Day - Holiday) these 3 days I have covered few of Chiranjeevi's Old Movies (80's & 90's) and yesterday evening Chatrapathi followed by my all time favourite - Athadu (28th time, I have started this movie late in the night, when I am slowly crossing 28). It took 4 hours for me to complete it, one can guess I was getting numerous phone calls in between (Wishes). Out of my surprise, my cousins even arranged a cake cut party and we had a blast exactly at the interval time of the movie (Athadu). Even after the party, my job was to continue receiving phone calls and had to take a long interval break of about 1 hour, to resume the movie!!

While watching this movie and the previous one (Athadu & Chatrapathi), I can clearly see that difference and the improvement in film making from early 80's to present!! Do not know if many observe the title cards with same attention as movies or not, but I strongly feel that one should remember & visualize every technician's effort in the movie while enjoying the scenes, sounds/music and the entire visual feast - apart from the front-end artist.

Ofcourse it is the actor/actress who portrays the actual role play, but it is the director who do the complete interpretation of a written script, using their vision and creativity, along with organizational and technical skills, to deliver a complete motion picture.

As I told before, I started the weekend watching old movies and can clearly see n number of flaws in Legendary Directors' so called Hits! and Failed to catch atleast a weak scene in the above mentioned 2 Movies - Chatrapathi & Athadu! Hats off to both the captains......Every aspect of these two movies were made exceptionally good with utmost care, whether it may be in selection of cast, crew, script and grip on the subject, commitment from every technician including music director, cinematographer, choreographer, stunt master, editor & so on...

"The movie is a product from a team and the film director plays a major role in it".

With this I just wanted to suggest young directors to watch perfect movies n times and learn how to do movies....which will surely help every stakeholder of the movie!

There are other movies as well such as Ithey, Vedam, Ala Modalaindi etc., which are well made, so please friends share your views on best movies by posting comments to this blog :)
